How long does the blue foam stuff last? Does it need washing first?

Also some I've seen are coarse or fine cut ... What do people use?

The blue foam I've bought from James lasts for ages Ash, you can rinse it through over and over again . . . plus it's not overly thick ( depth wise ) so you don't have to worry about paring it down at all.

Once you've got the right ' wind ' of foam in there, then you can use that piece as a template for any future/further pieces.

I find it vastly easier than the Sera filler . . . shame I bought a hooge bag of the stuff on Ebay, as you do.

You need the large squares mate, the small pre-cut ones are for the cartridges that come with atomisers

[Dan Fieldhouse]

Thank you! I would have ordered the wrong ones as well!

Does one of those squares last a while or am I likely to need a few?

This is the one paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/product_info.php/pName/blue-foam-cart-fillerone-square-piece/cName/diy-accessories

The smaller pre-cut ones are what james cuts to fit atomisers

It's fully washable and will last months

They last quite a while Dan as you can reuse them, though I bought half a dozen or so . . . just because there might be a universe wide shortage of blue foam.

And, I rarely buy anything singularly. :-[

What is a good size piece of this stuff to start with them making up the spheroid?

My juice is 70pg and 30vg so I used enough blue foam to make 1 & 3/4 wraps of the tube, I find that to be the best amount for that juice for retaining the juice and not letting it flood out.

If you have a vg heavy juice then you need less or conversely you'll need more for a pg juice.
